India Setting New Records In Sports: PM Modi

Lauding the performances of Indian sportspersons in the Asian Para Games and Summer Youth Olympics, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday said the country was setting new records not just in the field of sports but also in “uncharted areas”.

Addressing the 49th episode of his monthly radio programme “Mann Ki Baat”, the Prime Minister stressed on the “4S” — spirit, strength, skill and stamina — as key elements in the field of sports as core foundation of the nation.

“If the youth of a country possess these qualities, that country will progress not only in areas such as economy, science and technology but also bring laurels home in the field of sports,” Modi said.
